Sidecars featured
on this page are exclusive to F2 Motorcycles Ltd.
Our sidecars have hand made steel or fibre glass bodies.
Available in both standard chassis and heavy duty chassis
version to suit all needs.
We use a HD shock absorber and a 20 mm wheel axle for extra
strength

Fitting
Service. If you are having the sidecar fitted by
us please be aware that the fitting price does not include
any special sub frames, gearing changes or steering dampers
your bike may require. Our fitting cost includes wiring,
test riding and set up alterations to ensure the handling
is correct. Generally if you have a duplex tube frame with
a high torque mid range engine you will not require any
further parts or alterations. We are happy to inspect your
bike and give a fixed price quote in writing before any
work is carried out. If you would rather fit the sidecar
yourself please be aware that it is often not as straight
forward as it may appear. If you choose this option, and
many do, we will do our best to offer guidance but can not
take responsibility for the handling and setup.

Sub
Frames. The universal fitting kit available from
us does not include any additional sub frames. In many
cases they are not needed. On some modern bikes there
is no frame work low down near the back to attach the
rear lower mount to. Some people just slide the rear swan
neck forward a little so it can attach further forward.
This is OK, but we prefer to extend the bike frame backwards
by fabricating a sub frame so the rear lower eyelet is
just in front of the rear wheel. If you are fitting the
sidecar at home these sub frames can be made easily using
6mm plate steel. As you can see in the picture they should
be triangulated horizontally and vertically for strength.

Sidecar
Law. You can ride a motorcycle and sidecar if you
have a full motorcycle licence. If wish to ride an outfit
on L-plates, the following information should be useful.
In order to ride a motorcycle and sidecar combination all
learner motorcyclists are required to complete a CBT course
before being allowed to ride with ‘L’ plates.
The combination should have a power to weight ratio not
exceeding 0.16 kW/kg. All full car licence holders, regardless
of when they passed their test, are required to complete
a CBT course before riding a combination with ‘L’
plates. A CBT certificate is valid for two years from the
date of course completion. Learners cannot carry a pillion
or side car passenger.
